It is impossible for Zhang Tianhai to know about being investigated.
Having broken through the encirclement, it was time for him to deal with the issue of the breakthrough group.
There were about four hundred people, more or less, including many officers who graduated from Huangpu, including thirteen people including Zhou Fangjie and Gu Shi'an.
Thirteen Huangpu officers were neither too many nor too few. They were all treasures.
In the dark night, 431 officers and soldiers of the penetration regiment stood in front of Zhang Tianhai. They may have many scars on their bodies, but none of them could break their straight waists.
That kind of thing is called backbone, the kind of strong backbone!
"All the officers and soldiers of the special agent company of the first regiment directly under the third war zone, come forward and assemble!" Zhang Tianhai said loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen or so lonely people walked out of the group of hundreds of people. Zhang Tianhai counted eighteen people left.
From the time when the spy company followed Zhang Yulin to stay in Nanjing with more than 250 people, now there are only 18 people alone. Even the commander of the spy company Wei He has died.
Looking at the eighteen people in front of him, and then at the more than 400 officers and soldiers of the penetration regiment, Zhang Tianhai knew that now that they had successfully broken through, the existence of the penetration regiment had little significance.
So, he gritted his teeth gently, took a deep breath and said: "Now that we have successfully broken through, the existence of the penetration regiment is of little significance. Breakthrough regiment, that's it! Now I officially announce: breakthrough Regiment, disband! Let’s all go back to our homes, find our mothers, and go find our original troops!”
However, the more than 400 people in front of them remained motionless, as if they did not hear the disbandment order announced by Zhang Tianhai.
Zhang Tianhai didn't know what the old brothers of the penetration regiment were thinking. Even though they had experienced so many things together, the existence of the penetration regiment was no longer necessary. He could not force these old brothers to follow him to Xuzhou and join His penetration team?
"Members of the secret service company, follow me!" Zhang Tianhai jumped off the front roof of the Japanese armored vehicle and left first, followed closely by the remaining eighteen members of the first regiment's secret service company. , accompanied by Wei He.
After Zhang Tianhai walked for a while, he turned around and found that hundreds of people from the penetration regiment were following behind them. Even the officers and soldiers of the tank company were driving tanks at the back.
Looking at the scene behind him, Zhang Tianhai's eyes were slightly moist, and he said in a hoarse voice: "What are you..."
"Captain, don't give up on our old brothers in the penetration regiment. In Nanjing, even the commanders of our old troops have given up on us and ran away on their own. If you hadn't led the regiment's special agent company, Commander More than 250 brothers stayed in Nanjing and wanted to take us out, otherwise we would have died!" A veteran of the penetration regiment who followed the front said loudly, "The lives of our more than 400 brothers depend on the regiment. We are the regiment commander's soldiers, and wherever the regiment commander goes, we will go there!"
"Yes, if it weren't for the regiment leader, the brothers would have died long ago, so wherever the regiment leader goes, we will follow him. We are Zhang Tianhai's soldiers!"
"Yes, even the commanders of our old army have given up on us, but Commander Zhang has not given up on us. We are Commander Zhang's soldiers!"
"Captain, if you give up on us again, we will have nowhere to go..."
Listening to the responses in front of him, Zhang Tianhai was filled with emotion. At this moment, he felt that everything he did while staying in Nanjing was worth it.
Zhang Tianhai looked at the team of officers including Zhou Fangjie, Zhao Huzhen, Gu Shi'an, Wang Rui and others, and the answers he received were all nodding in agreement.
Zhang Tianhai thought for a while and finally said: "In this case, everyone can trust me, Zhang Yulin, then our designation is now the 1st Reserve Battalion of the 1st Regiment directly under the Third Theater Zone! The former deputy commander of the penetration regiment Do you have any objections to the appointment of regimental commander Zhou Fangjie as the commander of the 1st Preliminary Battalion?"
"No!!" The officers and soldiers of the penetration regiment responded in unison.
From this moment on, the penetration regiment was officially reorganized into the first reserve battalion of the first regiment directly under the third theater.
The number of the first battalion is, as the name suggests, temporarily prepared. It will be rearranged after returning to the regiment headquarters.
Regarding the future arrangements for this team, Zhang Tianhai already has a plan in mind: the first priority must be to rebuild the spy company, and then other matters!
The chariots of the chariot company continued to move forward. Since the vehicles used previously had run out of fuel, they naturally could not move, so they still had to carry their belongings, which was quite stressful.
Although it was true that a lot of things were captured during the previous breakthrough, it was almost a burden at this time.
In addition to the originally owned light and heavy machine guns, there are also many captured Japanese light and heavy machine guns. Together with their German-made 1924-style rifles, there is quite a surplus of equipment. This equipment can completely arm two reinforced battalions. .
All the problems faced by the newly reorganized first battalion need to be solved by Zhang Tianhai and Zhou Fangjie.
But the problem of weapons is not the primary problem, but the physical strength of the officers and soldiers, which is close to overdraft, and the problem of food.
When Nanjing Garrison Commander Tang Shengzhi issued the order to retreat, he asked the troops to prepare fried rice and salt for three days. Now that three days have passed, they have no food...
It’s hard for a clever woman to make a living without rice, so is she really going to send troops to grab food?
Ask yourself, how is the behavior of sending troops to grab food different from what the Japanese army did? These soldiers are supposed to carry guns to defend the motherland and protect their homeland, not to rob these poor people.
Therefore, the army's food problem has become the most important thing for the first battalion at present - soldiers cannot go without food. If even soldiers don't have food, there will be problems.
The sky was gradually getting brighter. After walking to the tree-lined area, Zhang Tianhai asked the troops to rest nearby. Firstly, because the troops were very tired and needed a rest. Secondly, the bombing and reconnaissance by Japanese aircraft would be very frequent. So I have to take a rest before marching.
Lying in the haystack, Zhang Tianhai couldn't sleep repeatedly. Was it because of the food problem of the army? Where on earth was he going to get the food?
Whether in this life or in the previous life, this was the first time that Zhang Tianhai encountered such a dilemma.
Yes, in the military class of my previous life, I was taught how to obtain food in enemy-occupied areas, but that was an enemy-occupied area. Enemy-occupied areas can still be supported by war, but now their area is their own territory, so they must not Do things like that.
I want money but I don’t have money, I want food but I don’t have food, and the key cannot be snatched. Doesn’t this make people worried?
This time, Zhang Tianhai can really understand why Li Yunlong in "Bright Sword" used to send troops to grab food - such a big living person can't be suffocated to death by urine...
As the saying goes, it’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice...
